Its quite easy to make fun of the Jets and I am usually right there doing it myself but firing Maccagnan was a great move. If this team hires Joe Douglas its even better. Yeah Gase sucks but he is a genius compared to Maccagnan.

I'm not saying Gase is worse than Maccagnan, but I can tell you for certain that not a single Dolphins fan was sad to see Gase gone. So good luck with him running the whole show I guess

There is no downside whatsoever to firing Maccagnan. It should have been done after the season but better late than never.

I’m not against firing Maccagnan, I’m just saying he’s right about the Jets being a laughing stock. And firing Maccagnan to give Gase full control, when he failed miserably with the Dolphins, is comical to put it mildly.

Yeah, but the problem is they're still stuck with Gase. I honestly thought Bowles could have been a very good coach if he had a good (even competent) GM helping him build the team. Instead he had MacCagnan, whose good draft picks in his five years running the draft could be counted on one hand (and most of those were just taking the best player available in the top six). But Johnson refused to believe that Maccagnan was the problem, until the new guy said so. Oh yeah, and both Bowles and Maccagnan's firings came a little over a year after Johnson gave them both extensions.

Now they'll have Gase paired with whoever is complacent enough to go along with whatever personnel decisions he wants to make, and have to deal with the toxic coaching staff issues with Williams, his son, Gase and Vitt.

Bowles was never going to be a good coach. Maccagnan was worse but Bowles was pretty incompetent as well.

Have you people forgotten that Maccagnan was the guy that picked Christian Hackenberg in the second round. That decision alone disqualifies him from ever again working in an NFL front office.

You seem to be confused

Nobody is saying getting rid of Maccagnan was a bad move

Everybody but you is saying getting rid of him, giving gase more power, making him report directly to the owner now bypassing the new GM who he will handpick...is hilariously bad given how that worked out for gase in Miami

Gase gets two years and its not like there were any good hires this past offseason unless you are a big fan of Arians who would never have taken the Jets job. Bottom line is if the Jets hire Douglas which I won't believe until it actually happens the team will have upgraded at the GM position big time.

I fully expect 6 or less wins the next two seasons and another hilarious coaching search but Gase was no worse a choice than most of the other coaching changes this offseason. The biggest takeaway from all of this is that Christopher Johnson is even more incompetent than his brother.

Yes getting rid of your HC will be easy in 2 years

However you are skipping the part about how you will be left with a roster he created and gase’s roster management skills are hilariously bad

So while gase himself can be fired and gone you’ll be stuck with a gase roster for the foreseeable future

To be fair the HC reporting to the owner is not new for the Jets, they’ve had that reporting structure in place with Bowles and Maccagnan.

Need an example? Look at the 2019 Miami dolphins roster

Like I said if Douglas gets the GM job I don't believe he is taking the job to be a puppet since he is very well thought of and can get other jobs in the future. If he turns the Jets down things will continue to get worse. Being a Jets fan means never expecting anything good to happen but for now I will enjoy not having Maccagnan around.

if the Bills hadn't bobbled a pass that turned into a pick 6, fumbled a snap inside the Jets 35, had a roughing penalty after a 3rd down that took them out of FG range, etc. etc. etc. ............ Kicker was one of many Jets problems Sunday. Even a really good kicker can miss 45 yard FG
